Blender Peanut Butter Milkshake Ingredient Highlights

Vanilla ice cream is my preference for the perfect peanut butter flavor, but you can also use peanut butter-flavored ice cream for an extra peanutty taste, or chocolate ice cream for a chocolate peanut butter milkshake! Non-dairy ice cream works.

Smooth peanut butter is preferred for the creamiest milkshake, but crunchy will work, too. You may just have to blend for longer and be aware there may be a little bit of graininess with each sip.

Any type of milk will work from whole to skim dairy milk to any non-dairy milk!

How to Make a Homemade Milkshake in a Blender

When it comes to learning how to make a milkshake, a blender is your best friend! You could also use a food processor in a pinch.

Personally, I’m all about this high-powered Ninja Blender; it’s my partner in crime for all my milkshake recipes.

I’ve found that ⅓ cup of milk in this shake gets me a fantastic consistency. Just thick and creamy enough, but not too much to stop me from slurping it up through a straw.

That being said, everyone has a different preference when it comes to the thickness of a perfect homemade milkshake.

Plus, no matter how many times I make this, the amount of milk I add is never exactly consistent depending on how frozen my ice cream is, and which brand of peanut butter I use.

So, they key to the best milkshake is adding your liquid (in this case milk) slowly.

Add the peanut butter, ice cream, and about 2 tablespoons of milk to start, and blend on high. Continue to slowly add more milk as you are blending, watching closely until you reach your ideal consistency.

Bear in mind, this means you may not necessarily use up all ⅓ cup of milk listed in this recipe! Make this your own by tuning the texture into exactly how you like it.

The ability to make it to your taste is the best part of making this delicious milkshake recipe at home! Add some garnish to give your milkshake some texture and a fun, classic diner milkshake feel!

Some options for garnish include chocolate sprinkles, peanuts, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. But don’t let me stifle your creativity—add all your fixin’s!

How I Store Leftover Milkshake with Peanut Butter

If you have leftovers of your quick and easy milkshake, you can save them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Store them in a freezer-safe airtight container.

Storing the milkshake in the freezer will mean you will likely have to thin it back out with a little extra milk in the blender. Alternatively, you can keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days, but it will likely be runny.

You can always add it back to the blender with a little extra ice cream or just enjoy it as is.
